| Description of the problem | I was driving down the interstate at 60 mph in a 65mph zone when out of nowhere with no prior warning or indication of malfunction it happened. No crash but emergency stop did have to happen and could have caused a crash. The emergency brake actuator froze up on the rear right side of my f150 2004 supercrew with only 46,000 miles on the odo. This freeze up caused the rear brake to engage involuntarily and destroyed the actuator, the brake pads, and the rotor. |
